Shoulders - Special Slaps

Special Slaps

Special Slaps occur at a predetermined number to increase difficulty and creativity to the game.

• Common numbers for special slaps are:
  • 7,10,17,20 & 21
    • They usually occur in pairs (7&17)(10&20)
• Common S.S's are:
  • Point (10)/Double Point (20)= A player points to the person to go next while calling out the correct number
    • The pointer CAN pick players NOT to their immediate left/right.
  • High Cross(7)/Low Cross(17)= A player overlaps their arms (think like a genie but with space between)and depending on whether it is a high/low cross that predetermined hand indicates which player (to his left/right) continues.
    • The current slapper can only go to his immediate left/right w/ the high/low cross
• If the game is set to end with a special slap, the player counting off 21 must act out the special slap even though there is no 22.
